Riverman -- I'm afraid I don't remember "We Can Make It" by Ruby and the Romantics. I checked my R&R album and it isn't on there, either. Besides "Our Day" I do remember "Young Wings Can Fly" and "My Summer Love" and "Our Everlasting Love" as well as their very nice versions of "Hey There Lonely Boy" (very different from the Eddie Holman take) and "When You're Young And In Love." All on glorious Kapp Records.

You know who I liked? Patty and the Emblems. And the Drew-Vels. And especially Baltimore's very own Royalettes -- "It's Gonna Take A Miracle" and "I Want To Meet Him."

And why Baby Washington wasn't a household name, I could never tell you. Ditto Garnett Mimms.

I checked on We Can Make It and it is on a Best Of Cd.
Man,I forgot about the Drevells!They had a song that went someting like"tell him that I love him,tell him that I care"What was the TITLE of that jam?
Sure,I remember the Royalettes.Kinda funny that Deniece Wiliams had a much bigger hit out of Gonna Take A Miracle than they did!And the Royalettes had the better version.
